Episode 227: You Know I'm All About that Vape

Show Notes Episode 227: “You Know I’m All About That Vape” This week Host Dave Bledsoe comes back from vacation cranky and hungover, so basically nothing has changed. On the show this week we dive headfirst into the vaping panic sweeping the nation and it smells rather like our childhood breakfast cereal. Along the way we find ourselves delighted to watch a full blown social panic unfold before our very eyes! (There are about seven or eight social panics going on right now, but this the newest and least offensive.) We discover where Dave’s nicotine addiction springs from. (He just wanted someone to love him!) Then we get to learn the history of how this highly annoying and utterly inane habit came from a desperate need to stabilize tobacco profits and grew into an activity for douche bros in a fedora! (Dude, check out my lightsaber vape!) We then turn to why vaping is the latest things to scare the crap out of aging white people. (Them durn kids again!) Before you accuse of being insensitive about the deaths, we remind you that six people died in the time it took you to read this paragraph. Our Sponsor this week is Fast Eddie’s Vape Shops, when you want to smoke your breakfast, try Fast Eddies. We open with RJ Reynolds first failed e-cigarette and close with a little ditty from the Alan Cox Show.
